Mayor Lauren McLean, Boise City Council, City of Boise staff and community partners assembled at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial Amphitheater to hold the ceremony for the mural, E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One) by Addie Boswell.
Assisted by a group of local volunteers, Boswell transformed a previously hate-ridden graffiti surface into a vibrant depiction of cultural symbols and the Boise landscape.
Boswell is a muralist who specializes in kid-friendly and community-specific designs, created from a process of layering colors and using the free spirit of street art.
"To have a message that is again about welcome. About belonging. About all the beautiful sides to this community and that is what the mural really represents. I think it just shows that is the enduring message of this community," said Christina Bruce-Bennion, Executive Director Wassmuth Center for Human Rights.
